Recycling processes, such as shredding waste, place great stresses on equipment. To stay productive and competitive, it is vital to use materials that can withstand harsh conditions.
Developed specifically for abrasive environments, Hardox® wear plate, Toolox® engineering and tool steel, and Duroxite® coating products offer recycling companies and recycling equipment manufacturers the opportunity to reduce costs, extend service life and optimize production.
The recycling industry processes metal, plastic, glass, rubber, wood, concrete and other materials. Although plastic and wood are not highly abrasive materials per se, they are often contaminated with abrasive materials such as sand and stone.
Hardox Wearparts has the expertise needed to improve the performance of your recycling equipment in shredders, knives, hammer crushers, waste separation drums, shears, scrap presses, screeners and other applications.
An example is hammer breakers, which face many challenges, such as increasing productivity, reducing hammer inventory cost and shortening axle balancing time. Switching from manganese to Hardox® 500 in hammers reduced the overheads of an aluminum recycling company.
